Microsoft Set to Release Quantum Computer Programming Language

Microsoft’s as-yet-unnamed programming language aims to offer some degree of abstraction from the underlying mechanisms of quantum computers.

Scientists around the world have been dabbling in quantum computing for years, but most of the work has been focused on creating a reliable medium for running quantum calculations. The programming languages used in quantum computing have been of secondary importance. However, Microsoft is planning ahead with the upcoming release of its own quantum programming language, which will be fully compatible with Visual Studio.
